Public Absolvemente at Skarpenes

I have come across a listing of public absolvement in the Oyestad church book. I would like to find out more about the practice, the nature of the discretion, and some verification of the people involved. There are no farm names associated with the the two parties, but I am pretty sure who they were. The wife being Maren Christensdatter Natvig who tragically dies in Sept 1781 about a year and a half after the incident. Could her death be related to the incident? Was there some shunning of the guilty parties involved? Her husband was Ole Mogensen a skipper listed in the bydgeboker for Oyestad (under Skarpenes), but I don't believe there is any mention of the absolvement. I couldn't find anything in the Nedenes Tingbok 1778-1782, but i believe they stopped fining before 1780. I did find the probate for Maren; link below. Beyond her children's names, I couldn't read much of it. Without a farm name it is difficult to identify the correct Jen Christensen, the third party involved. Maren did have a brother Jens. https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070702640151 (absolvement) https://www.digitalarkivet.no/sk20081008310276 (probate)
